Abstract

A laser device that includes a dual pulse-width laser pumping circuit (100)generates long and short laser pulses. The laser- pumping circuit employs a single power supply (105) with dual high voltage outputs (110, 130) that are selectable under control (165) of a user. The laser device conveniently generates long and short laser pulses or a mix of the two for performing specilized surgical procedures.
